Each soldier tilled Lis hav ersack and pockets will specie, taking away all he could c»rry, and it is reported that thousands of dol'ars were buried by the raid ers or tßrown into an adjacent creek. This stream, a few year . ago, was drained by the tifumiet through whose lands it ran. wi‘b a hope of finding some of the linl dsu treasure, but not a dollar was brought to I'ght.
